Hmmm I doubt this file will localize any emacs menus... It seems dedicated to Oddmuse. It contains a list a pairs of sentences (english and french). But I don't recognize any standard emacs menu item. > But I fail to load it. To do so I add this lines into .emacs file : > ;; load the packaged named xyz. > (load-library "french-utf8.pl") > Is .pl files sames as .el scripts ? Do I need to modify the .emacs file ? This file does not contain any emacs-lisp instruction. It is NOT an emacs package to be loaded with "load-library". It is a perl program, to be interpreted by a perl interpret. It contains a call to the function AddModuleDescription=20 which seems to be an Oddmuse function as described in http://oddmuse.org/wiki/Modules So, sorry, you are on a wrong path... I don't know how to localize emacs in french. I've never seen an emacs localized in french. That would be a _lot_ of work, since you may have strings in - C data - C code - lisp data - lisp code - lisp documentation etc. An interesting project though...
